Capture the excitement on and off the field

The Nikon Coolpix S6300 is easy to carry everywhere. Need great shots of the high school football game? With the 10X zoom, you can get close to capture all the great plays, plus pull back for wide shots of the band marching in formation. The advanced CMOS sensor allows you to see all the details even at night, from portraits in the bleachers to the cheerleader's routines. It can capture both lights and darks and everything in between. The optical image stabilization helps to keep your shots steady even when the stands are bouncing up and down during an exciting play.

Plus, the S6300 has lots of features that'll let you capture the action in whole new ways. High-speed mode lets you shoot a succession of full-resolution images at six frames a second  great for isolating the moment when the receiver catches the ball. Try out the panorama mode to get a 360° view of the football field. If you want to try for a whole new view of the game and get a 3D look to your photos, just switch over 3D photo mode and check out the photos later on your 3D ready TV. And if you want to share a clip of the game-winning play on your Facebook page, switch to 1080p HD video mode and start shooting.

32 GB, and SDXC cards of 64 GB and 128 GB.

3D Photos: The Coolpix S6300 can take 3D photos that are
viewable on a 3D-compatible TV or monitor. Images are recorded at a size of 1920
x 1080. Recording a 3D image is a two-step process. After taking the initial
picture (left eye image), a second picture (right eye image) is taken
automatically by moving the camera horizontally to the right until the subject
is aligned with the guide on the monitor. To play back 3D images, you will need
to connect the camera to the TV via a 3D-compatible HDMI cable. Only the initial
(left eye) image can be viewed in the camera's monitor.

Shooting Modes: You can choose one of the following shooting modes:

Auto Mode: A "point-and-shoot" mode with some user
adjustments to suit the shooting conditions and type of shot you want to
capture.

Special Effects Mode: You can choose from the following six
effects: Soft, Nostalgic Sepia, High-contrast Monochrome, High Key, Low Key, and
Selective Color.

Smart Portrait: When the camera detects a smiling face,
you can take a picture automatically without pressing the shutter-release
button (smile timer). The Skin Softening option can smooth the skin tones in
faces.

Subject Tracking: For taking pictures of moving
subjects. The camera moves the focus area automatically to track the
registered subject within the frame.

Continuous Shooting: In the continuous shooting mode,
you can select in the menu from the following options:

Single: One picture is taken each time the
shutter-release button is pressed.

Continuous H: Takes up to 7 pictures at about 6 frames per second
while the shutter button is held down.

Continuous L: Takes up to 6 images at a rate of about
1.9 fps while the shutter release is held down.

moments by saving images from before the shutter release button was pressed
all the way. Captures up to 5 frames at a rate up to 10.6 fps.

Continuous H 120: Each time the shutter release button
is pressed all the way, 50 frames are captured at a speed of about 1/120 sec
or faster. (Image size: 640 x 480)

Continuous H 60: Each time the shutter release button
is pressed all the way, 25 frames are captured at a speed of about 1/60 sec
or faster. (Image size: 1280 x 960)

Best Shot Selector: Camera captures up to 10 images while the
shutter release is held down, and the sharpest image in the series is
selected and saved.

Multi-shot 16: Camera takes 16 shots at about 30 fps and arranges
them in a single image of 2560 x 1920.

Black-and-White: save images in black-and-white

Sepia: save images in sepia tones

Cyanotype: save images in cyan-blue monochrome

Self-timer: The camera is equipped with a 10 second and
2 second timer for self-portraits. In addition, the camera can use face
detection to detect human faces, and automatically release the shutter when a
smile is detected (Smile Timer).

AF Area Mode: You can select
between the following AF Area Modes to determine where the camera focuses.

Face Priority: When the camera recognizes a face (front view
only), the camera will focus on the face automatically. The camera can
recognize up to 9 faces depending on shooting and exposure mode. This
is the default setting.

Auto: The camera
automatically selects the focus area (up to 9) containing the subject closest
to the camera.

Manual: You can manually select one of 99 focus areas
in the monitor. This method is handy when the intended subject is not
positioned in the center of the frame, and is relatively still.

Center: The camera focuses
on the subject in the center of the frame.

Macro Mode: Macro mode is used for taking pictures of objects as close
as 4". This feature is best for taking close-up pictures of flowers or other
small subjects.

Focus Lock: The Focus Lock
feature is used to focus on off-centered subjects in the frame while shooting in
Center AF mode.

AF-Assist Illuminator: If lighting is poor, the AF-assist
illuminator may light to assist the focus operation when the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway. The illuminator has a range of about 6'-3" at the maximum
wide-angle position and 3'-7" at the
maximum telephoto position. You can turn this function on or off.

Blink Warning Function: The Blink Warning function is
available when you are shooting in Face Priority mode. When the camera detects
that one or more human subjects may have blinked, the blink warning screen is
displayed. The subject is framed by a yellow border, allowing you to check the
picture and decide whether or not to take another picture.

Exposure
Compensation: You can alter the exposure from the value suggested by the
camera, making pictures brighter or darker. You can adjust the exposure from
-2.0 to +2.0 EV in 1/3 EV steps.

ISO Settings: Sensitivity is
the measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the
sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. The camera features the
following ISO settings:

Auto: Sensitivity is set to ISO 125 when there is sufficient
lighting, and raises the sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600 when lighting
is dim.

Fixed Range Auto: Select from two ranges in which the
camera automatically sets the sensitivity: ISO 125-400, or ISO 125 to 800.

Manual: Sensitivity is locked at the set value: ISO 125, 200, 400, 800, 1600,
or 3200.

White Balance:
You can set the White Balance to Auto, Daylight, Incandescent, Fluorescent,
Cloudy, or Flash. You can also choose Preset White Balance and use a
neutral-colored object as a reference to set the white balance under unusual
lighting conditions.

Built-in Flash: The Coolpix S6300 has a built-in flash with a range of
1'-8" to 18' (Wide angle) and 3'-4" to 10' (Telephoto). You can choose from the following flash modes:

Auto: Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor.

Auto with Red-eye Reduction: Pre-flash fires before main flash to reduce
red-eye effect.

Flash Off: Flash will not fire, even when lighting is poor.

Fill Flash: Flash will fire whenever a picture is taken.

Slow Sync: Auto flash combined with slow shutter speeds.

In-Camera Red-Eye Fix: If the camera detects red-eye after the pre-flash has fired, advanced
red-eye reduction processing is used to further reduce red-eye, slightly
increasing the time required before the next picture can be taken.

AF Modes: When shooting still images or movies you can choose between two auto-focus modes:

Single AF: The camera focuses when the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway and locks at this position during recording.

Full-time
AF: The camera constantly adjusts focus, even when the
shutter-release button is not pressed.

Voice Recording: Audio voice memos for pictures can be
recorded over the camera's built-in microphone and played back over the unit's
built-in speaker. Memos can be up to 20 seconds in length, and are stored as WAV
files.

Intermetiate buy for year ahead.

Written By Leo, Arlington, MA on Friday, December 28, 2012

The main reason for purchase was to replace similar and expensive previous camera bought three years ago that became duty inside that affects image. The decision process are come to 10 zoom, full HD movie and modest price. The camera is OK by the characteristics. YouTube video is made by the camera (same defects in sky image are resulted by file conversion process - not camera performance that is fine). Enclosed software for editing movie should be more intuitive like Windows Movie Makers.

Pros:Modest price, good size.

Cons:Switch on button demands about half a second push that in some urgent scenes could cost missing interesting cadre. Noticeable sound during zooming at movie mode. Focus is lost sometime during zooming at movie mode. Focusing speed could be faster in general.

Nikon Coolpix S6300

SO far so good. I am a professional photographer and use Nikon but wanted a small, throw in my purse for times when lugging my big camera around. Taken so pretty decent photos inside at a restaurant with really low light and outside have been great! Haven't used the video yet.

Nikon Coolpix S6300

video recording out of focus when zooming in and out

Written By Vic, Northern, CA on Friday, May 18, 2012

I got this camera less than two weeks ago right before Mother's Day, and I have used it to video record two indoor events the past two evenings. Both times the video is out of focus when zooming in and out even though I set it to Full Time AF in video recording settings. Let say I zoomed to position 5 and the video was perfectly focused. I then zoomed in to position 4, but now it was out of focus. When I zoomed in more to position 3, it was focused again. If I zoomed out to position 6, it was out of focus. If I zoomed out more to position 7, it was then clear again. There is something not working with the focusing mechanism of this camera. Besides focusing, the camera can't operate while it's charging. You can't watch the recorded video or pictures while it's charging. My older Canon can do that, and that model was 2+ years old. I am returning this camera.

Great features, but mine was flawed

Written By Louis, Houston, TX on Friday, April 27, 2012

My review of this camera will be simple and short. I believe I received a defective camera. Every picture I took was either slightly out of focus, or severely out of focus. I took around 50-60 pictures using different settings and only one was 100% in focus. The camera would also take photos when I didn't hit the shutter button. This was my first Nikon, and it will be my last.

Pros:Ton of great features attracted me to this camera. The size is nice. Not to big and not so small. The buttons are easy to access.

Cons:Besides not working properly, I feel the scroll wheel is too sensitive.
